Anyone with Virgin Media already has this issue The supplied wireless router is shite so anyone with any sense or technical need switches it to "modem mode" and fits a third-party wireless cable router.
As to re-using your old kit that depends on how flexible the firmware is. I've definitely seen old ADSL routers where you can nominate one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the back as a WAN port and effectively create a cable router. Failing that if you can run OpenWRT or dd-wrt you can do anything you like.
Make and model of the old kit? ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

It's a Netgear DGN2200
The firmware is V1.0.0.57_7.0.57
I have seen some online comments about using a pirate firmware to unlock more features.
Until the fibre (only to cabinet mind) is up and running it seems rather too hypothetical to check what could work.
If the extender and IP cameras could still work on that older router somehow it might be a quicker solution than transferring them over as they have been up and running continually for about ten years and need some kind of chinglish software to arrange port forwarding and email alerts
It might be easier to get a couple of new ones. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 2 years, 330 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
